    I'm recounting a friendship that ended and how something decades ago still affects me today.

    Isn't it a problem if people like the same music, these words are used and then people complain if the lyrics are simply repeated? I mean, if he wasn't pointing at you and just repeating the lyrics, then maybe you should consider listening to another music genre. It's toxic to police each others speech, especially in a situation, where you are supposed to be having fun with each other.

      The thing is that I knew others who would not use those words when repeating lyrics. They did it out of respect. Maybe in some way I was policing ...maybe, but my problem and my stance with others starts with respect between the two of us. We don't have to agree, but we must repeat each other's boundaries.

    I was called a s___ several times growing up. I know I have my own sins, racism not being one of them. I like to forgive because it is what God does for me when I sin.
    Also, I think there are different interpretations of your view on this touchy subject. Schoolboy Q, for example, encourages his audience to say that word at his shows.

      It's a fine line that we have to navigate. I think the context is what counts. The timing, situation, and intention can mean the difference between someone enjoying themselves and someone being spiteful. I feel like it was spit, but it was so long ago all I have are my feelings.

    Always leave room for redemption, otherwise you might be chucking SOME good people on the scrap heap. Not to say I understand your situation in totality Spit but to forgive is to heal yourself too.

      Facts. That's what makes this so difficult. I know all these things and yet struggle to forgive him. Maybe I'm struggling to forgive myself for allowing something so small to become a wedge. I appreciate the support and the perspective. Thank you.

    Listen let it go it is the ignorance of others. It's not on you . People disappoint us. I had a friend who I had the same kinfmd of issue with not the Nword but this guy was white and we did hipop together went to music festivals and we fell out of being friends one of two reasons is my guess he never told me but I didn't want to just give a song we made to someone as they promised us videos they would make for us I said no you can have a mechanical license didn't even matter the price I just did t want to give up the song completely I would have taken 1 dollar just not publishing and ownership. So my friend disagreed. So there is that the other is we were at a bar me him and his girl friendwe came separate his girlfriend him and I. HE AND his buddies left the bar and went to a strip club his girlfriend was slobbering drunk and I watched her leave she lived walking distance around the corner I could see her stumbling and men trying to be inappropriate I thought wow I can't allow this so I said are you going home she said yes I walked her to the house up the stairs into the apartment they had a baby sitter. Baby sitter called him I talked to him explained the situation .... my guess is he thought I was trying g something devious we were friends and I had been there alone with her on numerous occasions waiting for him to return. I didn't think anything of just making sure she made it to the third floor apartment. He really never talked to me again I was trying to be a friend. He just passed away last month and he was a recovering addict I think he lost his way. Regardless I don't hold a grudge I'm sorry we didn't make up but ,that,... I have to let go because that negative energy will eat at you. People will always disappoint us all we can do is release our negative energy deep breaths for a few minutes will remind us that it, the issue, is not that deep and when we hold onto not forgiving someone for their mistake it's us that carries the baggage. We can only control our own behavior . And that is the great lesson to take from this situation.

      That's the hard part. Letting go yet not regretting the past. Part of this is a matter of miscommunication, but there is an Element of mutual respect that I just didn't feel during our exchanges. I wish i was able to shake it off, but like many things in life, my choices have lasting consequences. Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your honesty.

    nous avons tous plus ou moins ce probleme qui peut affecter nos vies negativement jusqu'a la chute finale.pardonner aux autres est une forme de grandeur d'esprit mais demande beaucoup de courage et d'honneté envers soi meme.que dieu vous aide a pardonner car vous me sembler etre un homme avec une bonté d'ame ne bruler pas votre énergie dans des choses négative vous valez mieux que cela

    Confession ? What's up ? Why the gloomy look ?

      Hope you saw the video and understand now. It's really me processing my feelings. How the past can't stay buried even after a decade.

      Wow what a deep dive into you. Man that hits a lot of notes for me. We brothers have thrown the N word around so much what can we expect ? Others hear us calling each other the N word and that's OK ? Perhaps their is some monkey see monkey do here.
      When I listened to this video my deepest thoughts were saying " this ought to be put to music ". Their is a deep message here.
      Great heart to heart.
      Thanks
